Wouldn’t change one thing about this place. Absolutely wonderful and we’re already talking about next year. We had a tornado warning at 5am and that with the wind was a little concerning, but other than the brief 5am storm we had absolute perfection and peace.

We would definitely stay here again! The cabin was nestled away in the woods, giving complete privacy and the perfect peaceful getaway. The unit was the ideal size, and the soaring ceilings with all the windows made it feel so open and spacious.The kitchen was stocked with every appliance we could possibly need, and there were plenty of towels and toiletries provided. The beds were very comfortable, and the enormous deck felt like an extra retreat all on its own. We spent our mornings in the rocking chairs, sipping coffee and taking in the beautiful views and surrounding nature.We had an amazing time and truly didn’t want to leave. Can’t wait to come back again! - AG

Family trip for graduation

The house was just as we expected from the online pictures. It was very comfortable and nice. We could have used more towels and neither deck was cleared of dust when we arrived. Loved the large selection of board games. The location is very peaceful and quiet.

Quick 25th anniversary weekend

What a special little retreat! The house is the perfect spot to get away and check out of the craziness of life. The windows allow for a fantastic views all day. The deck is perfect to enjoy an early morning coffee, evening glass of wine. Cozy up on the back deck enjoy a good book or just be part of nature. The house is appointed thoughtfully to enable guests throughly enjoy their stay. We appreciated the coffee station as well as having a french press. The kayaks are a wonderful touch. Chris was such a wonderful host and very responsive. We loved our time away so much that we inquired about adding one more day with short notice, he responded right away and was able to accommodate us. This location is situated in a perfect spot to get out and enjoy nature, wonderful hiking, multiple different lakes and sweet little towns. We highly recommend this space to get away and enjoy everything this area has to offer. Thank you again!
